BARRINGTON — Turbocam International is hosting a blood drive on Wednesday, Nov. 28 from 9 a.m.-5 p.m. at its corporate headquarters located at 607 Calef Highway. Since 1999 Turbocam has opened its doors to the Red Cross and the surrounding community and offered a safe place for people to give blood. The Red Cross Bloodmobile will be on hand.

“Part of our mission is to support Christian service to God and people,” said Dave Pincince, Turbocam’s marketing manager. “The need for blood in our area is great. Holding two blood drives every year is a great way to reach out to the local community and give the gift of life.”

The blood drive will run from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

“Because we have grown so much over the past year, using the bloodmobile is a great convenience,” commented Esther Blouch, Turbocam’s Special Projects Coordinator. “Our cafeteria was getting pretty crowded!”

All presenting donors will receive a coupon for a free Lindt Excellence Bar and there are chances to win two great prizes: a $200 gift card courtesy of Suburban Propane and a Godin 5th Avenue Guitar.

Appointments are recommended and can be made either online or by calling (800) REDCROSS (800 733-2767). Walk-ins are welcome.
